In Evaluative Metering mode, the shutter speed and aperture value are determined at this time, and by keeping the Shutter button pressed halfway, the focus and exposure settings remain locked, allowing you to recompose the picture as desired.

☛The shutter will not release if the in-focus indicator is blinking. Try refocusing on an alternate subject with higher contrast at approximately the same distance, or use manual focusing. (Refer to the section on “Difficult Subjects for Autofocus” later in this chapter).

AI Servo AF

Use this mode when capturing images of moving subjects. The lens focuses the subject continuously while the Shutter button is pressed halfway. AI Servo’s predictive focus control can track subjects moving toward or away from the camera. Exposure is determined immediately before the shutter is released.

In AI Servo AF mode, the viewfinder’s in-focus indicator does not light up even when the subject is in focus.

The in-focus indicator blinks if the subject cannot be focused.
